Constantinople: If you could make it there, you could make it anywhere... but not really

1) Jewish Rabbi (Benjamin of Tudela), writing to the Jews, admires Constantinople, admires the trade center, beautiful buildings, etc. But Jews were treated crappily, yet he still admires it all. Goes into detail about different parts of the city
2) Robert of Clary, writing about Greeks and why Constantinople was captured, and how they were amazed at the riches of the city, written to the general people
3) Nicetas Choniates, How the Latins destroyed Constantinople because they didn't care how impressive it was. Not very good to use because it makes everything too exaggerated
4) Illustrated map of Constantinople, not very credible, very few buildings in avery tiny area, not necessarily to scale, shows religion, shows how protected the city is
5) Photo taken by Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, Saint Sophia built by Constantine, shows new form of architecture started by Constantine
6) Written by George Acropolites, about the emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus, written to emphasize the christian aspect of the Byzantine empire, talks about all the cathedrals, handing down of the throne, the palace, etc.
7) Possible written by Chrysobull detailing privileges of Venetians, talks about the battles that they won, doesn't really describe Constantinople, only mentions it for it's trading port.

In my opinion Document 1 best describes Constantinople. It illustrates all parts of Constantinople, including religious aspects, the beauty of the city and it's trade. And the fact that Benjamin of Tudela also described the Jewish oppression in the city helps to emphasize that he is not being completely bais, showing the real beauty of the city.
